// How It Works
Engineered for reliable performance.
RULA Steel Silos are engineered as durable storage vessels with optimized discharge to prevent hang-ups and blockages. Available with flat or conical bottoms and side/bottom discharge, silos can include aeration pads for enhanced flow. Built from SANS 50025 Grade S 355 JR steel, they achieve >98% availability. DEM flow simulations refine geometry while wall thickness is engineered for cost efficiency. Custom liners—glass, ceramic, HDPE, UHMWPE, or VRN—boost flow and wear resistance. Each silo is tailored to client specifications for dependable, high-performance storage within any bulk handling system.
